It's Spring Break Time!
Spring break is great time to get out geocaching. Some areas are quiet as a mouse, but others are crowded with celebrating students. Lookout Lisa recently shared her top tips for spring break geocaching on a Facebook Live, and we've got the highlights for you here.
College Campuses
College and university campuses are usually very quiet during their springs breaks. This a perfect opportunity to get on campus and and find those high muggle area caches while the students are gone. Parking is usually easy to find too. Be sure to watch for campus webcam caches and Adventure Labs too.
Geocaching With Kids
So the kids are out of school on break and they need something to do... let's go geocaching! Here the top tips for keeping kids happy and engaged.
Before you go:
- Look ahead for small, regular or large sized only. Micros are no fun for most kids as there's no swag.
- Pack snacks. No one wants to get hangry
- Choose some swag to bring along. It's no fun if you can't trade because you have no swag.
Out on the trail:
- Stop before the kids get tired. We want them to keep on caching another day!
Things to avoid
Some areas can be very busy during spring breaks and will make geocaching very difficult. Let's take a look at some of them next
Spring break destinations
Where do the students go for spring break? Don't go there to go geocaching! Popular beach destinations, amusement parks, ski resorts can be very busy doing spring breaks (and any holidays actually), so best to avoid these area.
Tournament and festival areas
NCAA tournaments can take place on college campuses making what you thought would be a quiet area very busy. Watch out for local and regional festivals, farmer's markets and other pop up events.
Now get out there and go geocaching!
